Severn Trent staff will be offering water saving tips and free cost-cutting devices during two public drop-in events at Telford Centre in Shropshire this week.

Complimentary children’s books will also be available during the community sessions which will run between 9am to 5pm on both Thursday, October 5, and on Friday October 6.

Severn Trent teams will be on hand to offer advice between Boots and HMV in the North Sherwood street area of the shopping centre.   

Details on how to use the company’s free leak detection service will be available, along with where to get free water saving devices such as shower timers and slow-release water gels for the garden.

David Cork, Community Engagement Manager at Severn Trent, said: “We are really looking forward to speaking to people in Telford and Shropshire to offer as much advice as possible. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about what we offer and the support we can give.

“Our team will be on hand for two days, so if you would like to have a chat or want to find out more or simply want to grab yourself some free goodies, then come down to Telford Centre and we will be only too happy to help.

“And if we can’t answer your question on the day, we will take it away and come back to you win an answer as soon as we can.”

Severn Trent recently launched an £11.5 million investment programme at six sewage treatment works across Shropshire, including at its Monkmoor site, to further improve river health in the area.
